NITED STATES JAMES W. HAWVORTH, OF DECATUR, ILLINOIS.

METALLIC FELLY FOR WHEELS .EiF'ECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0.334;949, dated January 26, 1856. Application filed November 10, 1885. Serial No. 182,354. (No moth-l.)

To (LZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES W. HAWORTH, a resident of the city of Decatur, county of Macon, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvernentsin Me tallic Folly-\Vheels, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce a tire and felly that will, under ordinary circumstances, be entirely inseparable, thus avoid ing the inconvenience of the constantresetting that is necessary in wheels as ordinarily constructed.

In the drawings, accompanying and forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a section of felly constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse view of the tire and folly, and Fig. 3 is a perspecth e view of a broken sec tion of tire.

a represents embossmcnts on the of the felly,

periphery preferably located at the center of each section and at the junctions thereof. 1) indicates a longitudinal concavity in the inner surface of tire d.

c is a metallic felly-section, having tenon g, slotted end plataf, and central brace, e.

A complete felly is composed of a number of sections, as shown in Fig. 1, the t'enon of one section penetrating the slotted plate of the next adjacent section, and thereby providing an embossment at each junction.

As the expansion and contraction of the tire and telly are uniform, and .as neither are subject to permanent shrinkage, it is evident that when the tire is once in position,with the embossments of the felly engaging the concavity of the tire, subsequent displacement by ordinary use is practically an impossibility.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent- In wheels, the combination of felly c, concave in cross-section, crossbraces of, embossments (1 on braces ef, and the d, having longitudinal concavity b, as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof Isign my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
